This company is deploying existing desalination technology in a new way, hoping to provide 15% of household water needs for coastal California.

Desalination facilities have critics who claim it's too expensive and environmentally destructive, but there are supporters who want to make existing reverse osmosis technology better and many new ideas are being tested here in Southern California.

"Before we put it out of arm's length away out in the ocean, we have to have confidence that we know exactly how it's going to operate," explained Peter Stricker, the CEO of SeaWell. "We're in the water surrounded by water and we just bring that element that we treated to shore. The interesting thing though is that we don't have a breakthrough technology that we're relying on to do this," Stricker said.
